You probably won’t be surprised to learn that Texas Governor Rick has joined the ranks of Sheldon Adelson’s 72 virgins.

Perry wants to be President.  Adelson wants to stop internet gambling so his casinos can grow.

A match made in heaven, I say!

Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, waging a new campaign to ban Internet gambling, is deploying a state-level political network he has been quietly developing over the past few years.

Florida’s Rick Scott has already been bought and paid for.

The same phrasing used in Scott’s letter had appeared word for word in letters signed a few weeks earlier by two other Republican governors, Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas.

We already have convince store gambling in Texas with the lottery and you can even buy your scratch-off tickets out of vending machines, so Rick can’t be opposed to gambling.  Personally, I think that Rick has arrange a deal that every time a cowboy says, “Betcha I can lasso that calf,” Sheldon Adelson gets a dollar.

And when Sheldon asked Rick his name, Rick replied, “What do you want my name to be?”

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
